A New Youth Worker for

The Bourne Children and Youth Initiative

(The Bourne CYI)

I grew up in the Bourne and until 3 years ago I didn’t know what The Bourne CYI was! But since working with various youth workers in Farnham, I began to be aware of what it was and what it does.

I am also working with a charity in Farnham as a Youth Worker as part of Cohesion which is supported by FCCT. I have been involved with this for 8 years.

I started in the Bourne CYI by helping run one of the Clubs called “Double Decker’s” but after the club leader decided to leave I was asked to take it on so I now run it with a couple of volunteers who I couldn’t run the club with out.

When I found out that Kevin Milligan was leaving it was mentioned to me that maybe I should apply for his job. I had to think long and hard and at that point I didn’t think it was right for me. Then after I found out they were going to review what the role was to be I decided to apply and see what would happen. I did and I was asked to come for an interview. I have to say interviews scare me and I had to remember that I was applying for a job which I found exciting to do so that made me less scared. The interview went well and I was offered the job which I accepted otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this Article.

This is a big step for me but one I think which will be an amazing opportunity as it will help me to become more experienced and more confident as I undertake new responsibilities.

The things I am involved with at the CYI are running 4 clubs throughout the week all for different age groups from 8 - 21.

I am in charge of publicity, so I’m producing a newsletter every month, updating the website, sorting out trips for different clubs and general admin. I am also going into schools/colleges and promoting clubs and volunteering.

Also,in the New Year, I will be starting to train my young volunteers.

One big thing I have done is to do some fundraising for Children in Need by being put in the stocks and have wet sponges thrown at me! We raised £208.40.

If you are interested in volunteering or helping out with any of the things I have mentioned, please contact me on Nicola@cyi.org.uk

After Christmas it can often be a problem thinking of what to do with the Christmas Cards that you received.

Please just pop them through the brown door (number 43a), next to Robert Dyas on

Thank you for your help.
